Do not murmur or repine over your

seek to become suddenly wealthy by rob-
bing trains.
If You are determined TO go into The
train robbing industry, however, do no,
come here. This is no place for train

That is not the worst drawback about
tram robbing here, however. 1t is the
running time of the trains that interferes
with your trade. A band OF train robbers
from Missouri came here five years ago,
hoping to establish branch OF their great

Time passed on.
AT first they were not very hungry and
did not think il advisable to devour any
of their number, but at last starvation
overpowered good resolutions aud reason
so one after another OF the younger and
weaker of the band yielded 10 the frenzied
and famine-stricken fragment of the once
buoyant and selireliant company.
At last one night just as the moon clumb

looked down upon the wild and beautiful
picture of glori6ed mountain and sonber
valley, as the last colored oiterer had re-

long exposure, famine and the sharp, re-

the mountain zephyr as a shrill whistle
sounded from beyond the "lrussel," and

train with a muffled and rumble and roar,
with mad shrek and hot box, passed

So you see, Mr.. White, that this is no
place to rob trains. It is 100 uncertain.
